1
Whip the Heavy Cream
In a large mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the cream until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until fully combined.
3
Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Do this carefully to maintain the light and airy texture of the whipped cream.
4
Add Powdered Sugar
Sift 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar over the mixture and gently fold it in until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
5
Chill the Crema
Transfer the crema to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the crema to thicken slightly before serving.
